up to a decade behind bars is now the prize people could pay for wearing a mask during demonstrations and turn it up after parliament approves a controversial bill. the russian punk band pussy riot kicks up a new storm in a battle for trademark rights that's after the group's growing fame on leashes a scramble of those seeking to cash in on the ground. while third party candidates for the u.s. presidency advocate defense call it's overspending on the military stands out of the war between the corporate bank fraud. and a new video emerges reportedly showing the brutal killings of syrian soldiers upon the lucias this comes as washington wants a major overhaul of syria's opposition saying it will seek a new rebel leaders out of those actually fighting on the ground.

hello and welcome to our team this friday joining me karen tara well keeping your identity private during demonstrations has become a punishable offense in canada and masked activists could now face up to ten years behind bars authorities say the motion is aimed at tackling the growing threat of violence and vandalism canada saw a mass of student protests against tuition hikes earlier this year and led to hundreds being arrested canadian radio reporter michael for a new law will criminalize anti-government demonstrations nationwide. this law basically what it does is that it will criminalize people who are in protests if the police of that city deem the protest to be an unlawful assembly of course that . varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction terms of how easy it is for the police

force to say this is an unlawful assembly or it is a lawful assembly but let's look at montreal for example and across get back in any major city back where if you were fifty people or more in a in a peaceful protest a nonviolent protest that could be depended on unlawful assembly if you have enough presented your itinerary and the directions of according to your protests routes to the police force of them in a spot in come back before the protest is started and that's what's causing a lot of controversy because people are saying you know it's my inherit right to go out and express our opinions me able to go to the streets and take to the streets in a peaceful manner when i was covering as a reporter the major i guess you protests that were happening in downtown montreal because of the students protests that were happening there basically what i saw from my perspective that i was even attacked for basically just filming police for doing my job for being able to report on the story what what's happening here and i mean some extent people said to me well you know you understand they're only doing

their job that on a certain extent i think. barack obama and mitt romney are throwing everything they have got into a last ditch effort to woo voters in undecided states in the closing days of the pre-election dual promises of change and economic recovery are taking center stage in what's ironically the most expensive presidential race in u.s. history but talk about any cuts to the massive defense spending is absent from the front lines of the campaign but both candidates expected to keep the mighty military machine rolling in important i reports. our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office we spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined china russia france united kingdom you name it america has a responsibility and the privilege of helping defend freedom we've got to strengthen our military long term i will not cut our military budget in a post nine eleven america the pentagon's budget has grown to more than forty

percent averaging half a trillion dollars per year critics say a new party or presidents in the white house won't change the policies firmly cemented in washington realities that both of these men are very much continuations of the military industrial complex is domination of our political system in our democracy so when they keep talking about how they're going to supply jobs increasingly that's where the jobs come from. both foreign interventions and also this giant so-called homeland security department price of defending the homeland critics say continues to come at a grave cost to civil liberties this war on terror you know lacks lead we discussed it or did in the day know you have military might will ease you know cracking down on protesters now you have this massive empire brought in an order just as there. you need to have peace. to make sure that the war came rages are earlier

this year the former cia director applauded president obama for closely following the controversial policies of his part assessor and despite a campaign that was based upon a very powerful promise of transparency president obama and again in my view quite correctly. has used the state secrets argument in a variety of courts as much as president bush more than six and a half thousand u.s. soldiers have been killed fighting america's post nine eleven wars and nearly fifty thousand have been wounded in action are reported quarter million americans who have fought in iraq or afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health injuries from combat service even as america's wars wind down the suicide rate among troops has surged to a thirty year high according to the pentagon this year's total may reach as many as one suicide per day it's not just what happens in war one of the deaths and

injuries or happens or no you have these there are basically better is coming home you know to two broken communities and families with. moms and this in terms of. is it something that we want you know do we want a society where are important members of our communities in the coming coming home or withdraw. and that's the reality of war in the two thousand and twelve fiscal year payers funded a u.s. defense budget of five hundred forty four billion dollars it's estimated that some could provide two million military veterans with free medical care for thirty five years talking about national defense has been almost sacrosanct you know sort of like the defense department wants something to question that is to question. something that isn't questionable and that has meant that the largest per the us

government spending has been beyond analysis beyond public scrutiny in four days americans will lead to a leader for the next four years regardless of who wins the legacy of the war cemented under the past two u.s. presidents indicate that the roots of largest defense budget will continue blooming this causing many to cause if hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to increase security or even rude stability in the morning for new york or enough for night parties and while obama and romney pledged to pull the us out of the deep ditch of debt some observers say overspending on the fence is the main reason the economy and about going down under in the first place. there's no more important issue in america today and how much we're spending on our military our military industrial complex that's where most of us tax dollars go i mean our total is is

more than the top fifteen other nations in the world and says most americans know that this is wasteful spending here it creates a few jobs but there's so many more jobs that would be created if that spending that governmental spending was done on a whole bunch of other things like publicly utilities like a whole other range of areas so it's really destroying our economy in a lot of ways besides creating a lot on this is sort of violence around the world you know what happened to a lot of other societies that these military industrial complex takes over nobody stops it and before you know it you know your whole country is like an overwhelming debt. has the presidential run aren't shy away from slashing the defense budget the alternative names on the ballot have taken the opposite approach that third party candidates are given no chance to deliver their message in the mainstream media so r.t. is helping break block that break that blockade rather you can watch the final round of live debates between the green party's jill stein ad libertarian gary johnson on monday. thank you

a lot of international rides on i don't know we should not bomb iran we need to cut the budget bring the troops home we should end the war in afghanistan talk more. secure stand up with our. lads were deal with you and. thank. a great journalist who threatened to reveal a high profile government fraud remains and possibly spit all scots off air this was arrested on wednesday after he promised to expose a lot on t.v. a long sacks reportedly connected to the country's painful bailout deal as comes after another reporter star trial on thursday for publishing a list of a legit top tax evaders meanwhile the country faced a major media strike triggered by a suspension to all state t.v.

presenters for criticizing a minister on air to sell from free press magazine believes the greek government would go to any extent to stop the information from going public. journalists in greece are absolutely doing their job the country is in crisis but people need to know what's going on and their rulers aren't telling them what these are journalists are doing is trying to reveal to look public the very most important information relating to the economic crisis the exposure they relate to the real crisis in greece and in other countries too which is tax avoidance and the export of capital the taking of money out of the country which is what happened in the greek economy the government is in absolute crisis in greece the economy is tottering as most terrible social deprivation it's a terrible time for greek people and they're being very badly treated not just by the greek or by the whole european financial disparagement they need to know the truth i don't see how they can get away with prosecuting these people it's actually going to be a very interesting test. freedom in greece and coming up later this hour for going

out to go green we look at how bird lands to strive for a nuclear shutdown and the accompanying sense towards renewable energy is delivering a painful blow to family budgets more on this and many other stories after a short break. what's the difference between a samurai sword and a blind guys walking stick well known if you're one of the cops in northern england an elderly blind architect with taser in the back because his cane looks like a sword that was used in a nearby crime honest mistake because swords are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuffed youth who is

shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with the pollie and complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. it's .

meet. the world into the. science technology innovation all the list of elements from around russia we've got the future covered. culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money and it is a shame isn't it even a lot of people at area sandy is coming down but in the storm's way cool the conversations running climate change return to american political discourse and debate politics. will two parties keep us politics a one way street. or will new voices disrupt the power of power alone.

our teams lucy call saddam. hussein so what is it all about i who owns the name that. well while the members of the punk band pussy riot are toiling away in hard labor over their anti-crime and stunt at the price saver and pedro behind me it turns out that doesn't stop some people from trying to cash in on their brands the wife of pussy riot attorney mark bain is apparently applied for a permit to try to commercialize the placebo branden are turned it into a venture that sells t. shirts toys other commercial products we just learned actually that this application has been denied but it certainly has caused quite a stir the members of the group itself say that they intended the city a political profile a protest a nonprofit stunt they're quite our rage that these attempts to try to marshal law is that separately we've also learned that there is a movie a feature movie film in the works about the pussy riot story that's supposed to cost about thirty eight thousand pounds now first the pussy riot group has stirred

international headlines after their notorious trial over the summer over their stunt at the price of saber the troll they were imprisoned as a result of looking as i'm motivated by religious hatred one of the members start releasing the tober. and it really has sort of brought a lot of celebrities and whatnot to the cause we've seen madonna staying and other famous people speak out about this incidentally madonna's actually selling up was the right t. shirts at about nineteen dollars a pop unclear where those profits are going to be put towards and the cigarette is also found myself the punchline of a satire show in the us called south park where basically the show was making fun of people who rallied behind political causes that really understanding their nature and in this punch line jesus christ himself comes out and basically makes fun of people for wearing various cause support bracelets and says that instead of wearing these bracelets we should all be wearing our slogans. on our shirts and

pulls the pope pulls apart his robes to reveal a free pussy riot t. shirt so it looks like this specific venture where the attorneys wife is trying to commercialize on the brand name is not going to work out because again that application got rejected but that hasn't stopped others for trying to cash in on the plus the riot scandal power analysts see cough a nod from the cathedral of christ the savior live in moscow thank you. mr international house condemn new footage of what appears to be government soldiers being killed by syrian rebels calling it a possible war crime the brutal scene reportedly occurred in the north in the north of the country and ended in the deaths of twenty eight troops the video which can't be independently verified supposedly shows opposition fighters were raiding the soldiers there laying on the ground they are called assaults dolls before multiple rounds are fired into their bodies the incident occurred close to where government forces have been crushed clashing with militias trying to seize

imperialist war. against libya directly into syria the reality is they're only in the opposition they're arming the extremists because they want chaos in syria that is the only way to get military intervention and to move forward with the imperialist project we have to remember that the end of the us adventure in syria ending in defeat i should say would be the end of us hegemony in the middle east if they're only able to continue their march from syria that means their attempt to destroy iran is unlikely to evolve that means that their stranglehold over the persian gulf and the oil resources is weakening so they're putting all their cards on the table and sort of putting all their chips in the pot when it comes to syria . on our website right now for you know the u.s. warns israel that an attack on iran would compromise washington's maneuvers and the region. and politically proactive hollywood star george clooney as related to the sixteenth president of america for him login details on that story and much more on
